Setting the Image Display Mode

You can set the way the image appears on the canvas.

• In normal mode, the image is not stretched or tiled. You can resize the image frame with the resizing handles.

• In stretch mode, the image is stretched so that it fills its frame.

• In tile mode, the image is repeated so that a tiled pattern that fills its frame is created.

• In auto mode, the image frame is enlarged or reduced to the image size. The resizing handles are locked. When the image style of an image element is Auto, you cannot change its size.
